The Copper (Free) Test Kit - CU-5 is designed for the quantitative measurement of copper in natural waters and effluents. Copper can exist in natural water as soluble salts or suspended solids and plays an essential role in plant and animal growth in trace amounts. However, excess concentrations can be toxic to aquatic life. This kit is useful for monitoring copper levels in wastewater and potable water to ensure the safety of aquatic environments and control algae/plankton growth effectively. It is USEPA-accepted for wastewater and potable water testing and is approved by certain states under specific conditions.
The color-disc method used in this kit is a simple and cost-effective way to determine copper concentrations in water samples. The Bicinchoninate method provides a reliable and accurate result, making this kit a valuable tool for environmental monitoring and water treatment plants.
Benefits:
-
Accurate and Simple:
The color-disc method is one of the most accurate visual test methods, providing reliable results for copper concentration testing. -

Applications:
-
Water Quality Monitoring:
- The kit is used to measure free copper concentrations in natural waters, including rivers, lakes, and groundwater to ensure safe levels for aquatic life.
-
Wastewater Treatment:
- Essential for monitoring copper levels in wastewater treatment plants, helping to manage copper discharge and prevent harmful environmental impacts.
-
Environmental Impact Assessment:
- Used for environmental studies and assessments, particularly in areas where copper is used in industrial processes or is present in runoff.
-
Aquatic Health and Control:
- The test kit aids in controlling algae and plankton growth in water bodies, ensuring the copper concentration remains safe for fish and other aquatic species.
-
Regulatory Compliance:
- Ideal for industries and water facilities that need to meet regulatory standards for copper levels in both potable and wastewater.
Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry place. Keep containers tightly closed to prevent contamination and ensure longevity.
